Yesterday, I went to the London Eye, and yes it's a Ferris wheel comprised of circular tubes that provide one the ability to see most of London. I'm usually immensely afraid of heights, so being this high off the ground, and not being so fearful, was a first for me. My professor pointed out that it is potentially the fear of dropping that scares me. I realized she was right. Going high in the air isn't a problem, but the force of coming down puts the fear of God in me.

My London-traveling cohorts and I went and saw the Matilda musical yesterday in London. First of all, I had absolutely no idea that Matilda was a musical, but I'm extremely happy I was able to witness it. The children is the musical were extremely impressive; these children were able to remember every line and sing their tiny little hearts out. Seeing plays like these makes me want to get back on stage. I can't imagine the time these children dedicated to putting on a near-perfect performance.

I had a geek moment yesterday. We visited the dead yesterday at High Gate Cemetery. Our tour guide talked to us about about the impressive history of the Victorians, and how they were a boastful people. My favorite part of the tour came when I saw the family of the Rossetti's. Dante Rossetti (who is not buried with his family) was a famous pre-raphalite painter who frequently painted Elizabeth Siddal. Siddal is buried with the Rossetti family.

I just got back from a trip from Stratford England. This wondrous city is the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The place where he was baptized and buried is called the Holy Trinity Church. In the church, he is buried next to his wife, and son-in-law. Proceeding the church is a walkway surrounded by trees and other graves. The city of Stratford itself has many memorials and statues dedicated to William Shakespeare. In the picture below, is the room where he is buried.
